Gather round
This group of teenage gosslings caught my eye yesterday. They’re obviously siblings and haven’t yet learned to scare others away when there is food around.

Threesome, twosome, flysome
Nancy Merill at A Photo A Week asked for mismatched sets. Can you spot which one is the odd one out?
Find the lack shee… seagull.
And some more birds. Spot the odd one out:

The good, the beard and the ugly
The next topic was: What all well-composed shots have in common. So here are few examples of not-so-great and some better photographs.
There is quite a lot wrong with the first shot starting with the direct approach of the goose towards the camera and the funny way the second one stands behind. In the second shot the white goose shows off her (his?) beautiful neck-line to perfection and the Egyptian goose almost fades in the background. Almost, I dare say the photograph would have been better with just the white goose.
More geese. The mistake in the first one is obvious, daddy goose is swimming out of the picture but I managed to capture the family in the next one.
Even better was this one because I went down to their level.
Enough with the birds – here I was fascinated with the beard of this guy. In the first photo the half of the face distracts from the beard which looks so much better against the uni-coloured background in any case.
And then there is this foursome. The two shots on top don’t work particularly well. In the first the two guys are not even looking at the gnarled tree. The second one is not too great either, the lady on the left with the pink jacket is too prominent and distracting from the focus of the picture. The composition works better in the two shots in the bottom row. Everybody looks at the tree, the purple t-shirt guy is pointing towards it. And in the last shot, he bends over the tree, his body language expresses interest and therefore inspires interest in the others (and the viewer).

Who’s a pretty bird?
Took these photos at the weekend away from home. Ironically, part of the trip turned out to be something of a wild goose chase.
